Create and manage TYPO3 users—without admin access
Managing Editor is the solution for teams that want to manage editors efficiently.
This TYPO3 extension enables responsible editors—Managing Editors—to create and manage new editors independently, within clearly defined boundaries.
TYPO3’s user management system is powerful, but it comes with a limitation: adding or managing users typically requires administrator rights. That means editors and content teams have to rely on IT or external agencies—slowing down workflows and creating unnecessary bottlenecks.
Managing Editor changes that. It empowers trusted editors to create and manage users independently—within clearly defined boundaries. Your team gains flexibility, while administrators retain full control over system-wide settings.
Managing Editor integrates natively into TYPO3 v12 and v13, providing an intuitive interface that makes user management fast and hassle-free. From a single dashboard, editors can create new users, activate or deactivate accounts, and reset passwords—all without needing admin access.
Need to verify a user’s permissions? With Managing Editor, you can switch to any editor’s backend view to see exactly what they see. That means fewer access issues, fewer permission errors, and more efficient team onboarding.
Managing Editor ensures that user rights remain clearly structured. Editors can only create and manage users within their assigned groups—preventing unauthorized access while keeping the system secure.
File access is also controlled: users only see the media folders they have permission for, keeping your TYPO3 installation clean and organized.
Temporary staff? Interns? Freelancers? Managing Editor makes it easy to schedule user activation and deactivation. Set up an account today, but activate it next month. Automatically deactivate users when they no longer need access. No manual clean-up, no security risks.
More security with Multi-Factor Authentication
Managing Editors can now enable, disable, or reset two-factor authentication directly in the TYPO3 backend—with a color-coded status icon (yellow, green, red) for quick visual feedback.
That means more security for your TYPO3 – and full control for your team.
Managing Editor costs €999 net for 12 months per project.
The license runs for one year from the date of purchase. During this period, you continuously receive all product updates—including support for new TYPO3 versions and necessary security updates. This means you do not need to purchase the extension again for every new TYPO3 major version.
After purchase, we provide Managing Editor either as a ZIP package or via a dedicated Git repository for your project.
Say goodbye to slow, admin-dependent user management. With Managing Editor, your editors have the flexibility they need—while your TYPO3 system remains structured, secure, and scalable.
Solve TYPO3 user management bottlenecks with Managing Editor. Give editorial teams user creation powers without admin access. Secure, controlled, efficient.
